UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – Penn State Athletics received a $5 million gift from Frank and Jennifer Marzano toward the Beaver Stadium Revitalization project. In recognition of the generous commitment, the West sideline’s primary club in the revitalized Beaver Stadium will be named the Marzano Club.
The Marzano Club will offer a tremendous game day experience and will be a hub of campus and community activities on non-game days. This space will be one of the premier event spaces in all of Pennsylvania, filling a critical need for both the University community and the Centre Region.
“We are incredibly appreciative of Frank and Jenn for their generous gift to our Beaver Stadium Revitalization project,” said Dr. Patrick Kraft, vice president for intercollegiate athletics. “The Marzanos are a Penn State family through and through and have strong roots in our Happy Valley community. They understand the importance of Beaver Stadium and the impact it will have on our student-athletes, alumni and fans as one of the premier venue for years to come.”
The support from the Marzanos and other donors will be vital in allowing Penn State Athletics to execute a renovation plan that will not only preserve the rich history of Beaver Stadium, but also modernize the facility while making it a year-round venue. The Beaver Stadium Revitalization project will provide increased revenue benefiting all 31 sports programs at University Park and foster economic growth in the region. The Beaver Stadium Revitalization gifts will be recognized inside or outside of Beaver Stadium at the renovation’s completion.
“Our family’s connection to Penn State runs deep and we take immense pride in contributing to this transformational project,” said Frank Marzano. “Beaver Stadium is very special to our family and has been a place we have gathered for years to celebrate the rich history and traditions Penn State has to offer. This project is not just an investment in infrastructure; it’s an investment in the future of Penn State, in the memories and experiences that will last a lifetime, and in ensuring that the legacy of our athletics department continues to thrive. We are proud to be part of something so meaningful, not only for our family but for generations for all Penn State fans for years to come.”
